Liquid Wind and Turun Seudun Energiantuotanto Oy (TSE) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the development of an eFuel facility in Naantali, Finland. The eFuel facility is planned to be adjacent to TSE’s local power plant Naantali 4 which will deliver biogenic CO₂ and steam for the production of eMethanol.

In addition, the process and waste heat of Liquid Wind’s facility will be used for district heat, reducing the share of incineration-based district heat production by TSE.

Once operational, the eFuel facility will produce 100,000 tons/a eMethanol made from green hydrogen and biogenic CO₂ (160,000 tons/a). Final investment decision (FID) is planned for 2026, and the facility will be operational in 2029. eMethanol is a very versatile commodity that can replace fossil fuels in hard-to-abate sectors such as shipping and aviation while reducing CO₂ emissions.

Liquid Wind acts as the main project developer and has started the environmental impact assessment and permitting process. In addition, the parties will jointly explore the possibilities of ensuring a sufficient supply of renewable electricity to produce eMethanol.
